First of all, it is the only recommended method of extinguishing candles recommended by leading candle manufacturers around the world. Secondly, the candle does not emit smoke, so the scent of the candle will be preserved and will not be muffled by the smoke of the wick. Third, if we blow out the candle, we can spread the hot wax beyond the candle, damage the surface around it, and even cause the wax to get on someone's clothing or body. Some candles have a melting point of up to 70 degrees Celsius, so that wouldn't be pleasant. Additionally, when blowing out a candle, we can even start a fire if the ember falls on a flammable surface and we don't notice it.
